It's no different this side of pond
Took us 14hrs from Guernsey to Pontrieux picking up a fish net around the. Prom got taken back at least 5nm before sorting it out
Oh the pleasures of sailing.
Have a good time and fair winds

On Chateaucat the lockers also go straight down to the floor so fortunately the problem does not exist.
I wonder why you have a false floor? My sail number is 108 if it helps.
I have had no trouble using standard unleaded fuel for the past 5years although I needed to put some carb cleaner in once because I had left stale fuel in during winter layup.
Merry Xmas to all hope to see some of you in the year 2014.
